Application filed May 12, 1903. Serial No- 156,'759. (N0 model.)

To all whom it may concern: I Be it known that I, ROLAND KING, a citizenof the United States of America, residing in the city and county ofNewport, in the State of Rhode Island, have invented a certain new anduseful Improved Pipe-Rack, of which the following is a true and exactdescription, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, whichform a part thereof.

My invention relates to a device for hold-- ing tobacco-pipes, and hasfor its object to provide a simple, convenient, and eflicient piperackwhich will support the pipes in' Fig. 2, a section through thebowl-supporting base, taken on the line 2 2 of Fig. l; and Fig.

' 3 is a plan View.

A indicates the base, which may be of wood or metal or any other.convenient material and is provided with a series of recesses B B, &c.adapted to receive the bowls of pipes and I preferably having theegg-shaped form illustrated in the drawings, as this shape is bestadapted for the purpose. In order to protect .thebowl of the pipefromnicks or scratches,

, the edges of-the notch.

E is a stem-supporting rack which is supresponding in number to thebowl-recesses in the base and adapted to support the stems of the pipes.

At F, I-have indicated a pipe-bowl resting in one of the recesses of thebase and having its stem F supported on the rack E.

It will be seen that my pipe-rack is of exceedingly simple constructionand one which insures the pipes being supported thereon in thecorrect'position to drain moisture from the stem into the bowl. It willalso be seen that the pipes can be placed in and taken from the rackwith the greatest ease and convenience.

Having now described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by Letters Patent, is-

1. A pipe-rack having a base A, in which are provided one or moreegg-shaped recesses B, B, &c., to receive the bowls of pipes, incombination with a stem-supporting rack E, supported above one edge ofthe base and provided with notches to hold the pipe-stems,

2. A pipe-rack having a base A, in which are provided one or morerecesses B, B, &c., to receive the bowls of pipes, in combination withcushion-edgings O, for said recesses, a
